DIRECTIONS
SQ3R, Effective Reading & Study Strategies (Reading Assignment #4), How to Read a College Textbook (Reading Assignment #5), and Pre-Reading Strategies: Video + Activity introduced several strategies that you can use when reading textbooks and other materials for college classes.
For this assignment, you will apply what you have learned to preview, skim, and scan a college textbook chapter before you read it closely. You will need to use the OpenStax textbook Introduction to Anthropology to complete this assignment. You can access the Introduction to Anthropology textbook in the Week 6 Module.
You will need to submit your answers to the 10 questions below for this assignment. The first question is about pre-reading strategies. All other questions are about Chapter 1: What is Anthropology? in the Introduction to Anthropologytextbook. Short answers (=incomplete sentences) are acceptable unless a question specifically asks you to write a complete sentence. Number all your answers (1., 2., 3., etc.) when you submit them in the text entry box. Answers that are not numbered will not receive credit.

How many sections are there in Chapter 1? Write the name of each section.
Before you skim Chapter 1, which part(s) of the chapter can you look at first to get a sense of the topics and key points covered in the chapter? Hint: Look at the Table of Contents for Chapter 1.

When reading a PDF of a textbook or when reading a textbook online, it is possible to use “find” or “search” to quickly locate the meaning of a specific term in the textbook. In this textbook, both in the PDF and online versions, there is also a place in each chapter where you can find the meanings of key terms in boldface in the chapter. What is the name of this part of the chapter? Scan this part of Chapter 1 for the meaning of the term linguistic anthropology. Write the meaning of linguistic anthropology from that part of Chapter 1 here.
